Cotton, lint, Central Queensland, at gin {AU}| | AusLCI, U

Unit process Australia v00.00.001

Included processes: allocation of the ginning process to cotton lint Remark: This process economically allocates the ginning process to cotton lint and corrects the carbon balance after allocation. Geography: Refers to an average production in Australia.
